UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּ⁠אֶחָד֩

in/on/at/with,first

Moses uses one to imply day one of the second month. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “on day one”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

בְּ⁠מִדְבַּ֥ר סִינַ֖י

in/on/at/with,wilderness Şīnay

Here, wilderness refers to the dry, barren desert plain that is common in the Sinai peninsula region of the modern Middle East. If your language has a word for this kind of landscape, consider using it here. If not, consider using a general expression. Alternate translation: “in the dry, desert plain of Sinai”

Note 3 topic: translate-ordinal

בְּ⁠אֶחָד֩

in/on/at/with,first

Here Moses is using a cardinal number, one, to mean “first.” If your language does not use cardinal numbers, you can also use a ordinal number here in your translation. Alternate translation: “on the first”

Note 4 topic: translate-hebrewmonths

לַ⁠חֹ֨דֶשׁ הַ⁠שֵּׁנִ֜י

of_the,month the=second

The second month of the Hebrew calendar includes the last half of April and the first half of May on Western calendars. You could convert the Hebrew day and month into an approximate date on the calendar that your culture uses. However, the Jews used a lunar calendar, so if you use a solar calendar, the date will be different every year and the translation will not be entirely accurate. So you may just want to give the number of the day and the name of the month on the Hebrew calendar, which is “Iyar” here, then say in a footnote approximately what time of year that is on your calendar.

Note 5 topic: translate-ordinal

לַ⁠חֹ֨דֶשׁ הַ⁠שֵּׁנִ֜י בַּ⁠שָּׁנָ֣ה הַ⁠שֵּׁנִ֗ית

of_the,month the=second in/on/at/with,year the=second(fs)

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use cardinal numbers here. Alternate translation: “of month two in year two”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / pronouns

לְ⁠צֵאתָ֛⁠ם

after,come_out,they

Here the pronoun their refers to the Israelites. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “of the Israelites’ going out”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

לֵ⁠אמֹֽר

to=say

Here the word saying introduces direct speech that continues until 1:15. Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language.
